Create a prompt to recalculate sheet before closing

PeeJay365 

You can create a prompt to ask if you want to recalculate before closing a workbook in Excel. You can use a Workbook event in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) to achieve this.

Here are the steps:

1. Open the Visual Basic for Applications Editor:
• Press Alt + F11 to open the VBA editor.
2. Insert a Module:
• In the VBA editor, right-click on any item in the Project Explorer on the left.
• Choose Insert -> Module to insert a new module.
3. Paste the Following Code:
• Copy and paste the following VBA code into the module:

Vba code (is untested):

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim answer As VbMsgBoxResult
    ' Display a message box prompting to recalculate before closing
    answer = MsgBox("Do you want to recalculate before closing?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Recalculate Before Closing")
    
    ' Check the user's response
    If answer = vbYes Then
        ' Recalculate the workbook
        Application.Calculate
    End If
End Sub

4. Close the VBA Editor:

• Close the VBA editor.

Now, when you attempt to close the workbook, Excel will prompt you with a message asking if you want to recalculate before closing. If you choose "Yes," it will recalculate the workbook before closing.

Keep in mind that enabling macros is necessary for this to work. Additionally, saving your workbook with macros as a macro-enabled workbook (.xlsm) is required.
